Roundtable Talk | 154 | April 9, 2026

In this episode of Roundtable Talk, Ruben Castellon and Chris Holland cut through the noise to discuss i
ssues that matter most to Hoke County and North Carolina.

They break down the North Carolina Supreme Court’s final word on the state’s voter ID law, explore the 
closure of the 32‑year Leandro education case, and examine ongoing debates over educational funding, local accountability, and growth management in our communities.

They also tackle the latest discussion on state marijuana legalization, upcoming GOP meetings and civic events, and the importance of citizen engagement — reminding listeners that informed voters are the 
heartbeat of effective local government.
